It means that millennials preferred using more slang utterances modified in semantic elements. Millennials did not completely change or create many new meanings. They retained the meanings of existing references only in the forms of new terms. I. INTRODUCTION within a group or with a trend fashion in society Indonesia is currently in the era of the industrial at large. It can be said that slang that exists and revolution of 4.0. This era is also known as the era popular nowadays will change continually because of advancements in the field of technology. Such an this phenomenon is changing dynamically. obvious issue also has an impact on other scientific Indonesian slang phenomenon has existed since fields, such as linguistics. Basically, language is the 1970s (Preece, 2015; Manns, 2010: 79), it has a purely dynamic human product. Such constant developed among adolescents as an identity and change has significant implications for the use of culture. There are several differences between varied languages among Indonesians. Indonesian slang in the past and the era of the Slang is a language variation phenomenon that 4.0 industrial revolution: slang distribution area, shows a shifting or changing in a language form the scope of slang community, and media. In the and meaning that occurs temporally. Adolescents Indonesian slang distribution perspective, it was use it to show their social identities (Wirawan & only known by a limited scope in the past.

There is another perspective slang phenomena. Such an obvious phenomenon is that is the most interesting issue to discuss the not a new issue in Indonesia, yet as time evolves, Indonesian slang that developed in the era of the slang language has changed from time to time industrial revolution 4.0, it is called the form of because it is temporal (Chaer & Leonie, 2010: Indonesian slang. 67).

  • A Typological Study of the Role of Syllable Contact in Romance Languages1
    AUTHOR’S COPY | AUTORENEXEMPLAR It is all downhill from here: A typological study of the role of Syllable Contact in Romance languages1 CLÀUDIA PONS-MOLL Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to show that Syllable Contact is responsible for the application of an extensive set of processes drawn from Romance lan- guages and to explore the nature and effects of this constraint within Optimality Theory (OT) on the basis of the analysis of these phenomena. All the processes under examination entail a change in manner of articulation and are the fol- lowing: a) regressive manner assimilation in some varieties of Catalan and in Languedocian Occitan, b) alveolar fricative rhotacism in Majorcan Catalan, dialects of Sardinian and dialects of Galician and c) alveolar fricative gliding in Languedocian Occitan. The analysis of these processes leads to two important theoretical implica- tions. First, it provides strong empirical evidence that SYLLABLE CONTACT cannot be regarded as a single constraint which categorically bans coda-onset 1.

This study was descriptive quantitative in nature using dialectometry formulation measurement and descriptive qualitative using in-depth top-down reconstruction. The data of research was collected using in-depth interview. The data was analyzed using synchronic comparative method for language mapping, phonologically or lexically. The data reconstruction was analyzed using diachronic comparative method with top-down reconstruction technique to find retention and innovation. The diachronically data analysis was carried out utilizing Isodore Dyen’s Proto Austronesia (PAN) (1970). The result of research was presented in a descriptive text about the geography of Malayan dialect in Sambas and Mempawah rivers’ flow areas. Language mapping carried out phonologically found 5 dialects, while the one lexically found 7 dialects. Two lexicon reconstructions were found: (1) ‘relict’ retention and (2) retention. Prefix retention only found innovation. The highest retention distribution in Sambas and Mempawah River Flow Area was in TP 5 (Karangan), while the lowest one was in TP 4 (Sambas). The highest innovation distribution was in TP 1 (Seluas) and TP 6 (Menjalin), while the lowest one was in TP 4 (Sambas).

The subjects of this research were the writers/editors of each articles of CHIP magazine. The objects of this research were English loanwords in Indonesian appearing in CHIP magazine ranging from 2013 to 2015 edition plus with the special edition of CHIP. The data were collected by reading and giving a mark to each borrowing words found or spotted in technology magazine (CHIP) through the process of reading. This study was a descriptive qualitative research which applying interactive data anaylisis model in analyzing the collected data. The results of this study show there are 12 processes of phonemic changes specifically for consonants. There are 8 processes of phoneme shift, 2 processes of phoneme split, and 2 processes of apocope. There are 10 phonemic changes of vowel: 1 process of phoneme split, 2 processes of phoneme shift, 2 processes of phoneme merger and 5 processes of paragoge. There are two types of graphemic changes found, namely pure phonological adaptation and syllabic adaptation. In the syllabic adaptation process, there are four processes of graphemic change, namely (1) double consonants become single consonant, (2) double vowels become single vowel, (3) monosyllable become disyllable, and (4) consonant inhibitory at the end of consonant clusters is disappear.

  • 37 Linguistic Deviation and the Rhetoric Figures In
    Linguistic deviation and the rhetoric figures in Shakespeare’s selected plays Fathu Rahman – Sukardi Weda DOI: 10.18355/XL.2019.12.01.03 Abstract This research is the study of linguistic deviation is one of linguistic analysis in literary studies. The purpose was to uncover the linguistic deviation found in Shakespeare's plays. It should be considered important and helpful for foreign readers (non-native speakers of English) to have a better understanding of the stylistics used in Shakespeare's plays. The analysis applied was language-based. As a great author who lived in the transitional period from Old to Modern English, Shakespeare has been credited with encouraging the birth of new English, and his contribution has been recorded in the history of the English Language. His rhetoric remains topical and has continued to captivate readers through several centuries. His plays are still learned in many parts of the world. The objectives of the study are 1) to inventory a number of linguistic deviations contained in Shakespeare's works, 2) to find out the types of rhetorical style in Shakespeare's linguistic deviation, and 3) to determine to what the extent of respondents (non-native English) failed to understand the linguistic deviation in Shakespeare's works. However, the language that Shakespeare used in his plays, besides sustaining the beauty of the style, it also contains a number of linguistic deviations. His specific deviations and the stylistics concerned were the topics of this qualitative research. The results of this research show that linguistic deviations found in Shakespeare’s works are stylistically varied, and may be misconstrued by foreign readers.

  • Typological Overview of the Languages of Central and Southern Philippines
    DRAFT (comments welcome) Typological overview of the languages of central and southern Philippines Daniel Kaufman 1.0 Introduction This chapter provides a typological overview of the languages of the Central and Southern Philippines (henceforth, CSP languages). Despite not forming a discrete phylogenetic group, the CSP languages share certain morphosyntactic retentions from Malayo-Polynesian (henceforth MP) which make them a useful unit for typological generalizations. Like other Philippine languages, almost all the CSP languages maintain the full MP voice system. However, unlike many languages of the northern Philippines, many CSP languages still maintain a distinction between the independent and dependent paradigms of the voice system (Wolff 1973). They may also reflect the Proto-Malayo-Polynesian (PMP) voice system more directly in disallowing innovative combinations of voice morphology commonly found in the north (e.g. the combination of actor voice and conveyance voice morphology). In one case, at least, there is a syntactic retention from Proto-Austronesian (PAn) that is only found in tiny handful of MP languages, discussed in §4.5.4. On the other hand, the voice system mutates in interesting ways in the southernmost CSP languages, specifically, in the Bilic and Sama languages. The larger question of a Philippine subgroup has been recently addressed by Blust (2019), who argues for its existence on the basis of a large set of proposed lexical innovations. Others have argued that the Philippine languages are best understood as a collection of primary subgroups of MP, rather than the daughters of a single MP proto-language. Phonologically, the only potential innovation that would characterize Proto-Philippines is the merger of PMP *z and *d, which is so common outside Philippine languages that it is of little probative value.

    p–ISSN 2614-6320 Volume 2, No. 6, November 2019 e–ISSN 2614-6258 ELISION IN STUDENTS’ PRONUNCIATION DURING PRESENTATION Septiana Iman Nasrulloh1, Salman Yasri2, Evie Kareviati 3 1 IKIP Siliwangi 2 IKIP Siliwangi 3 IKIP Siliwangi 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected], 3 [email protected] Abstract Discourse analysis is a broad term for the study of the ways in which language is used in texts and contexts. Elision is very simply the omission of certain sound of the words in certain contexts. In this study, the writers use qualitative method of discourse analysis to examine and find out the types of elision that used by students in presentation. The data were taken from the recordings of two group students’ presentations on the class A2 English Education 2015 on IKIP Siliwangi Bandung with the subject “Theories of Interpreting”. The result shows that there are three types of elision used by the students. They are apheresis elision, syncope elision, and apocope elision the students use 6 words of apheresis elision, 22 words of syncope elision, 25 words of apocope elision during the presentation of two group students. It can be concluded that the commonly used is apocope ellision as many as 25 word. Keywords: Discourse analysis, Phonology, Elision INTRODUCTION All around the world, there are a lot of people with strong desire to learn and speak English with correct pronunciation and also want to learn easier listening English native speaker. In Indonesia, there is a large number of interested groups and individuals in the subject among them are the students class A2 regular 2015 undergraduate program of English Education Study Program at IKIP Siliwangi Bandung.
